Here is card I made for a friend's son. She wanted these colors and informed me he liked the drums. So, here is my take!! I used the Quarter Note cartridge, paper is Recollections form Michael's. I do not remember the cut sizes because it was made so long ago, I just never posted the picture. I will enter it in the Birthday Sundaes challenge, this week's theme is Masculine Card! Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!

Good morning, I pray your Sunday is going to be great! Well, I am nervous about this post because this is my first time doing this technique:) One of the things I wanted to do this year was to learn how to use copics. I have started purchasing and practicing:) I have been watching a lot of tutorials and have found so many great ones on YouTube. I hope to begin posting some projects with copics real soon! But in the meantime, I wanted to try digi stamps. I visit Designed2Delight and they had a challenge. So, I purchased the digi stamp and pulled out my Crayola Colored Pencils and here is what I got!!!! I am very proud of my first attempt at digi stamps, but know it will not be my last! Thanks so much for stopping by and comments are appreciated:)

I am grateful to the men and women that help keep us safe everyday, THANKS! She loved it, so I think I done good!!!!!
